Bit Fry's Ultimate Rivals: The Court surprised everyone when they tagged in some WWE superstars to join in on the basketball action, kicking things off with Roman Reigns and Sasha Banks. Now they're making the crossover even better by adding two more of WWE's biggest superstars to the roster, and the two new additions are none other than The Man herself Becky Lynch, and the ultimate Role Model Bayley. Both stars look awesome in. the game's stylized aesthetic, which you can check out below, and Reigns, Banks, Lynch, and Bayley will be joined by four more Superstars in the coming months. We're not sure who those new additions will be yet, but there are a few names that come to mind, including Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Bianca Belair, and Asuka just to name a few possibilities.

The Court is focused on short-session games with arcade rules, but also wants to deliver a deeper skill-based experience for those looking for a challenge. Lynch, Bayley, Reigns, and Banks can now face off against NBA stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, De'Aaron Fox, Kawhi Leonard, Zion Williamson, and James Harden, as well as the WNBA's Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Elena Delle Donne, and Skylar Diggins-Smith, USWNT's Alex Morgan, the NHL's Alex Ovechkin, the NFL's Juju Smith-Schuster and hockey legend Wayne Gretzky in the game.
